Hi Charlie,

Could you help us in the SAC committee by forwarding this contest invitation
to the Louisiana Contest Club e-mail reflector, or through some other means
of reaching your club members? That would be very helpful to us in getting
the word out.

Thanks and hope to see you in SAC this year!

Dear YL/OM,

The Scandinavian Activity Contest (SAC) Committee extends a warm invitation
to participate in SAC 2013. SAC has been organized since 1959 and has grown
into a large contest, with the number of submitted logs (> 2000 for CW+SSB)
now being on par with major events such as the Worked All Europe DX Contest.

This year, up to 400 Scandinavians will be actively engaged in their annual
friendly battle for country and glory. In turn, that provides you with a
great opportunity to have fun by working the multitude of fluttery signals
emanating from the Arctic region and to emerge victorious! 

CW: 21 - 22 September, 12:00 UTC - 11:59 UTC
SSB: 12 - 13 October, 12:00 UTC - 11:59 UTC

* Non-Scandinavians work Scandinavians
* Bands: 3.5 - 28 MHz (no WARC)
* Categories: Single op., Single op. assisted, Multi op. single TX
